typical good light requirements (10000K & actinic, about 5-watt/gal).

 

needs ca/alk supplements as they are fast growers.

 

tolerant of water conditions versus the more difficult clams.

 

does not need to be fed but i wouldn't target feed if you do.

If your in a tank that can handle it (filtration) I would dose with phyto plankton. If not then you could put him in a bowel, add some phyto, let him sit for a while and then put him back into your tank.

they attach pretty quickly tho. you'd have to place the clam on a movable dish or rock custom formed to fit it to be able to moving it back and forth.

 

i wouldn't 'over-light' it. strong lights don't suit it as well as a crocea or maxima ime.

Ascending or descending colon should do! But the Phyto taste like She-ot!

 

Sorry AZ, just bustin chops! Besides I'm the king of Typos!
